How offset should faceplate be in the bucket?

[Drexx korso[TK]]

I know TK helmets aren't symetrical - how offset should the face plate be on the bucket in relation to the cap.

 

I am building a TK bucket

 

I've lined up the trapezoid shapes above the brow within a 1/4" or so with the eye rim. When looking from an overhead angle it really looks like it is way out of line (looking towards the left a bit)

 

Is this normal? Do I need to adjust it?

 

Looking at the reference pics it seems the traps and eyes line up - with the occasional bucket the right trap is overhanging the right eye a bit and the left trap is back away from the eye a bit.

 

Any help suggestions?

What Matt said.

 

But I think I know what you mean. I bet this will adjust itself once the rivets are in.

 

 

Cool pic, Matt! I loved the movie! Too bad they didn't makea sequel (meaning prequel ) of the movie

It looks fine side/side/front/back but its the overhead view that freaked me out

No one will take a Picture from you from the Top!

Looks good for me, keep it like that!

and I couldn't find any ref pics with an overhead shot so just wanted to see if this was normal or if I needed to adjust something first

OK, just took my Bucket and looked, it is the same with mine, so no Problem there!

thanks! Feel a bit more comfortable now...

 

Off to continue the build I go.

Yep, they all should look pretty much like that.
